The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 may not possess a litany of substantial upgrades on the previous generation, but it does offer small improvements on Corsair's steadfast and functional design.

Don't Call it a Comeback

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 is, as you might expect, an updated version of the K70 RGB. In addition to new switch options, the MK.2 features a handful of small aesthetic differences without shaking things up too much.

Light Options

The generous margin between the keycaps and the body of the K70 MK.2 shows off the excellent RGB lighting, and makes it easy to keep your keyboard clear of debris.

Just Passing Through

The K70 RGB MK.2 is tethered to your machine via a braided USB cable which supplies both connectivity and power to the USB passthrough port.

Neat and Tidy

Corsair's most recent line of keyboards feature an X-shaped channel on the underside to route cables for mice or headphones.

All in the Wrist

The K70 MK. 2 comes packaged with a detachable, rubberized wrist rest that can be easily removed.

Media Controls

The MK.2 retains the same dedicated media controls as its predecessor, this time with raised buttons that are easier to reach and feel slightly more robust.

A Place of Pride

The minimalist logo from the original K70 has been replaced with a more prominent, translucent version that showcases the excellent RGB lighting effects.

With the Push of a Button

Another difference with the MK.2 is the addition of dedicated buttons to swap profiles, adjust brightness, and lock the Windows key.
